01:01 I think you mentioned this to me last week. We didn't think too much about it, but tell us what's going on in Gonzales Texas? Anybody that knows anybody in Gonzales, I know there are some people here in Gonzales Texas listening. We have lost one of our real vital freedoms, I think, in Gonzalez Texas and that's to own livestock in the city limits. The town was settled in 1830...1825 and people had horses ever since What the City Council has done is they say in 120 days everybody You cannot have livestock in the city limits. And if you do want a horse in the city limits, you have to go through what you're doing is you're giving up your freedom your liberty to have a horse in town or cow and hound or sheep in town and then you have To go with your hat in your hand to the Special Zoning Commission and get a special use permit. So what you are doing is you are giving your freedom for
02:02 For a privilege. There's a lot of horses in some of the minority neighborhoods there and They see a horse that maybe not being taken care of so they blame that on all of us and just say okay this Nobody needs a horse in town then that's what they're doing. That's like, yeah This is like if a dog's being abused let's take everybody's rights to have a dog or cat or kid or whatever somebody high on coke and go out kill somebody or hurt somebody then have a prohibition on everybody. That's right just like if somebody get out there and drink and drive and uh kill somebody let's just do away with liquor all together beer all together that's what the city council of Gonzales has done okay now let me I gotta ask you what now when did this 120 day thing start? Uh it started they just passed this
02:50 Last week, so we're talking about somewhere what November and see I went up to now What's gonna happen to all the people that have horses? There's there is three pages of regulations You get you have you have to go through and my wife has a horse So I know how hard it is to get one of these they call it a special-use permit. Oh And this is going to be very, very hard for these people. We went up there and we were talking to some of them and they says Mr Hanson, we don't care! We just have to pay $25 dollars and everything's gonna be fine No that's not the way it works You have to get your property zoned To have a horse or cow Or whatever now It has to go to the zoning board Every neighbor in the neighborhood has to agree
03:36 If you're not getting along with your neighbor, that neighbor's not going to agree that you should have a horse. It is one of the worst things that I've ever seen come down in Gonzales Texas. Yeah because I always thought Gonzales was kind of a free spirit and... Gonzalez is where freedom began folks! And here we go, we got the City Council of Gonzalez saying you can't have a horse anymore. And this has been a long-standing... I know it sounds funny in Austin to say you can't have horses in town, but Gonzales is a small town It's very rural. What's gonna happen to the people that have horses? Are they getting rid of them? Well, they don't understand what's going to happen to them
04:13 And then also for every horse you have or ever cow you have to have a 15 by 15 barn So one guy has seven horses on this property He's gonna be full up with you cannot have two in one Barn, you got to have a fifteen by fifty biggest room for every horse Every cow every sheep it is just Whoever wrote this and I love dealing dearly our city count. I mean our not City Council, but our city manager but But he's not from Gonzales and he does not understand how this is going to work. This is actually going to create riots when these people find out that the dog catcher is gonna come and take their horse because they're not following all these regulations I mean there's pages of them here one thing... So, they'll go come and take your horses? They will take your horse
05:05 if you're not in compliance. Just like, okay you have to have a placemat on your barn from the...from your special zoning privilege document, paste it to your barn. If that's not there they will take your horse and you cannot... a lot of people move their horses around from lot to lot eat the grass up and stuff You can't do that no more! You can only keep it right there at that piece of property you have got zoned for that We counted 41 horses in one neighborhood You can see how this is gonna work out, folks. It's not and I can't wait! I wrote this... Well we'll keep following it. Uh, I don't know where you can go to the guns- uh you can go to the GonzalesEnquire.com or the GonzalesCanon.com and read my article that i wrote New Livestock Ordinance Up Into Your Ears And Permits
06:03 And it tells exactly the way, what I think is going on here Jeff. We're changing our freedoms to live our life with privileges And that's what's going on. So you're fighting it? Well, I'm fighting it all I can but it's gonna be up to the people of Gonzales to call their City Council people and say we need to revise this somehow because there is nobody in the world That's gonna be able to follow these rules I don't even think my wife's gonna be able to follow him because she has a 14 by 10 barn and they say You got it. You gotta get 15 by 15 That horse folks is living better than I am. I can guarantee you that! By the way, we're gonna do a show on Gonzales Come and Take It celebration in October. Anybody out there that likes a good time and likes street dance and everything else that goes on... Parade? Parade We have a festival the first weekend of October
